On May 10th, Google announced that their “Find My” device network would allow bluetooth trackers to be tracked by any Andoid device (just like AirTags), and already competitors Chipolo and Pebblebee have preorder pages for compatible devices coming mid-July.
I hope Eufy can release devices compatible with Google’s network for android too!
Now, third-party Bluetooth trackers for Android’s network are starting to arrive. The two companies that have announced products are Chipolo and Pebblebee, both of which seem to be cloning the Tile line of products. Both offer normal keychain tracker tags and slim credit card format trackers. The worst habits of Tile include making completely disposable products because the batteries can’t be changed, but it looks like our clones have mostly avoided that. All of Pebblebee’s Find My Device products are rechargeable, which is great, while the Chipolo keychain tracker has a replaceable CR2032 battery. Only the Chipolo wallet tracker is disposable (boo!).
Looks like a SmartTrack Link device has been registered with the FCC! Will it have support for Google’s new “Find My Device” network, and if so when can we pre-order!?
Any updates here? The blog post clearly says the trackers can be added now. I’ve purchased the tra kers and they do not add to the network. I have the Chipolo trackers working on Google find my fine. I can’t even add the eufy trackers to the eufy app on android!
Well the month of June came and went and the updated smart trackers have still not been released, so Eufy’s announcement was a lie. There is a support page for one of them but Google’s “Find My Device” network isn’t mentioned anywhere:
